Aich the Hero

Aich the Hero is always in a hurry and he huffs /hhh/. Help children make this sound quietly without turning on their voice. Aich is in search of a hero, which provides a great opportunity to talk about what makes someone a hero. It is a good book to read or reread during holidays such as President's Day or Martin Luther King's birthday. The story is filled with words beginning with “h” - how many can your child find? Can you hear the /h/ sound in these words? What about the word “honest?” Can your child think of a time when she or he was a hero? Draw a picture and write about this special day. Write the word “hero.”
